Bill Summary

An Act relating to career and technology education; amending 70 O.S. 2021, Section 14-108, as amended by Section 1, Chapter 326, O.S.L. 2023 (70 O.S. Supp. 2025, Section 14-108), which relates to technology center school districts and their boards of education; directing technology center school district schools to be subject to certain provisions of the State Board of Career and Technology Education rather than the State Board of Education; updating statutory language; providing an effective date; and declaring an emergency.

AI Summary

This bill, effective July 1, 2026, amends existing law to clarify that technology center school districts, which provide vocational and technical education, will be governed by the State Board of Career and Technology Education rather than the State Board of Education. This change ensures that the State Board of Career and Technology Education, which is responsible for setting standards and overseeing career and technology education, will have direct authority over these specialized school districts, including their classification, inspection, and accreditation. The bill also makes minor adjustments to language regarding the election of board members and the powers and duties of the technology center school district boards of education.
